This woman is giving major White Lotus energy. She blew up at her fiancé for "ruining their vacation" after a family emergency. She posted this thread on Reddit's r/AmITheA**hole subreddit and left her judgment up to the ruthless members of the AITA community. They were not kind.

 

The facts are these: the Redditor admittedly yelled at her fiancé for essentially being a good dad and agreeing to take care of his kids after his ex-wife injured herself badly. Who knows? She might have even yelled at him in front of the kids. She does seem to possess that level of entitlement, so anything is fair game. It's wild that she thinks her vacation is more important than his parenting. As one person said in the comments, this will clearly be their first of many fights like this. Keep scrolling below for the full story. For more tales of entitlement, try this post about a student who reported their professor for no good reason.

    Font - AITA for telling my fiance that he ruined our vacation when he decided to take the kids? My fiance (41) is divorced, he shares custody of his 11yo & 7yo with his ex wife. We've planned a vacation to a resort and I took care of all reservations and payment but first I had to make absolutely sure he was free on that date (3 days vacation). He gave me the Ok to go ahead and proceed with booking.

    Font - 2 days before the vacation, his ex called him asking if he'd have the kids after she got into an accident and broke her leg. He took them immediately for the weekend. As soon as I saw them I lost my temper on him. He said it was okay and that he'd either take them with us or postpone. I had a huge argument with him and he said that I was ruining the vacation by this reaction but I told him that he ruined the vacation the minute he took the kids off his ex. I ended up going to stay with my

    Font - Edit, look this isn't the first time, he's done this before and caused me to cancel a lot and cost me money and time (off work) as well.

    Font - Tacotonic 15 hr. ago Admittedly, no kids in my scenario - but I could totally understand being a little bit disappointed if you thought you had a romantic getaway planned... but the disappointment would be around the circumstances, not at the fiancés actions - because he clearly did what a decent human and father would do.

    Font - 12 559 Lainy122 16 hr. ago Came here to say exactly this. YTA - you are entitled to think that your vacation is more important than someone else's kids, but you can't be mad when their father doesn't share your viewpoint. This argument will be the first of many. 1.5k Reply S

    Font - Interesting-Sock3794 • 15 hr. ago I love that she says 'and this isn't the first time' like she's complaining that this guy is out here running around all over town being a good dad and prioritizing his responsibilities repeatedly. The nerve of some people!! 544 Reply

    Font - W4rd3n21 16 hr. ago Partassipant [3] YTA. These comments are spot on. As a parent I can't even count the number of my own events I've cancelled because my wife or one of my kids were sick. OP's fiancé at least seems to have his priorities right. 477 Reply

    Font - Comfortable-Sea-2454 18 hr. ago YTA - your BF's ex broke her leg [pretty sure she didn't do this on purpose] and needed your BF, the father of the two kids, to step up and take care of them. Sorry about your weekend plans but his kids needs trump your solo weekend away. That is what vacation insurance is all about. ✩ 6.7k Reply Share
